The FC Barcelona closed the past month of January the signing of Frenkie of Jong, pertinent of the Ajax, in return of 75 million fixed euros more other 11 in variables. In the same team plays Matthijs of Ligt, head office of 19 years that has turned into one of the big priorities of the technical office.
For the moment, only it has confirmed the arrival of the midfield player, but in summer also could close to the central. All this would affect mainly to two footballers of the current first staff of the FC Barcelona: Ivan Rakitic and Samuel Umtiti. Both would see mermado his leadership from the next campaign.
From several sectors of the national press has especulado with that the FC Barcelona will listen offers by both footballers in summer, since his sales would be necessary to obtain income of face to assume the signings that the club has in the wallet, as they can be Antoine Griezmann, the typical of Ligt or even a left side and a forward.
However, according to the informations published by Sportive World, so much Rakitic like Umtiti would have the intention to remain in the FC Barcelona. Both consider that the best option for them is to remain in the Camp Nou by distinct reasons and, to day of today, is difficult to think in that some team can carry them.
The reasons by which Umtiti and Rakitic want to remain
Ivan Rakitic knows that it is the ojito right of Ernesto Valverde and does not think that the arrival of Frenkie of Jong go to be a problem for him. In fact, it considers that there are other footballers that have the less ensured place and the past season already refused a multimillionaire offers of Paris Saint-Germain.
The case of Samuel Umtiti is alike. The French defence trusts fully in his possibilities to be headline since it thinks that is fully recovered of his knee. Said injury has separated him of the team the present season, but sees in conditions to recover a place that right now is of Lenglet. But if it arrives Of Ligt, goes it to have much more difficult.
